I can't get it to hold down the new battery. I have an appointment to register the battery at the dealer next week, but I don't want to wait until then to get the battery clamped down.
Hi goodman or anyone that would know,

I'm pretty sure my battery died at some point over night. The seats, steering wheel, SAT, FM, AM presets all gone. Plus I have the (ABS - 4x4) control message. I'm assuming it is the battery, but it starts . Both Autozone and Advance Autoparts have batteries in stock (haven't checked NAPA yet)

After replacing the battery, how did you get rid of the active steering message?

Thanks,
Rob
